I have been on Copaxone since the fall of 2005 but recently had to stop using it. My doctor and I decided on Abaugio. I have read up on the side effects and both my doctor and the nurse went over common side effects- nausea, some hair loss, diarrhea. Has anyone started on this medication and have been using it for awhile? I would like to know your experiences. Thank you.

I've considered switching from Cop. to this drug. It sounds more safe than the other orals...

copaxone is the only ABC drug that is not an interferon. It is a mixture of enzymes. I haven't heard of anyone I knew having problems from it, but as you know....
